Allan -
Rotating the end cap into the direction of shaft rotation advances the timing. As to how far you need to advance it, that's your call. It is dependant on your style, what king of planes you fly, winch drum diameter, how much string you keep on the spool, battery condition, and what direction the wind is blowing. Personally I keep mine just a couple degrees advanced from the stock setting. My brushes and windings last pretty well. I can still throw an Icon to the moon. I am giving up a bit of line speed and getting a bit more torque by retarding the timing a bit from a more advanced setting.
One thing to watch for is battery and wiring problems. If the voltage to the motor is reduced for any reason it will stall more easily, overheat quicker, and start melting stuff.

I'm reinstalling "Real Balls" on all of our club winches and I would like to
get a definitive answer as to how to advance/retard the timing on them. All
of the links on the "Winch Doc" site are down,so any advice would be
appreciated.
I currently have one set-up with an Injoy motor that is so "hot" it melts
the field leads in half. It does however give you some really exciting
launches !
